Synopsis:
Sgt. Rock, Wild Man, and Jackie Johnson are captured while on patrol. One of the German captors is Uhlan, a heavyweight fighter who beat Jackie in the ring before the war. Uhlan challenges Jackie to a fight to prove his race is superior. Jackie doesn't fight back in order to protect Rock and Wild Man. Rock urges him to fight anyway. Jackie then starts fighting and knocks out Uhlan. The Germans then decide to shoot them both, but Rock and Wild Man delay the Germans until the rest of Easy can arrive. Uhlan is badly wounded and gets a blood transfusion from Jackie, proving that the color of both men's blood is red.
